  1. Excellent suggestion. Now solve the problem of mass shootings in grocery stores, movie theaters, outdoor concerts, churches, and workplaces.

  2. Fact check: Delta variant, not 'vaccine shedding', behind surge in new COVID-19 cases. Some on social media are claiming cases from the new strain aren't due to the virus but shedding from COVID-19 vaccines. The tweet perpetuates a widely circulating, but grossly incorrect theory that the spike protein generated by the COVID-19 vaccines can somehow cause disease or be shed and affect surrounding unvaccinated individuals. Vaccine spike proteins cannot cause disease on their own. Vaccine shedding can occur in rare cases with some types of vaccines, but not with the ones currently available for COVID-19.

  3. On Fox News, Vaccination Pleas Intensify, but Skepticism Persists. Amid mixed messages on the channel, the hosts Sean Hannity and Steve Doocy encourage viewers to get Covid-19 shots as the Delta variant spreads. New York Times July 20, 2021

  4.  @blossomgordon8273  Seatbelts greatly improve your chances of surviving a car accident. Think of the vaccine as a COVID-19 seatbelt. The death rate from COVID-19 in the U.S. is rising steadily for the first time in months as the nation grapples with a renewed burst of cases in what's become "a pandemic of the unvaccinated," the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.

  5.  @blossomgordon8273  You are most welcome. I would suggest taking to your family doctor if you have doubts. There is nothing wrong with being suspicious and cautious when it comes to medical treatments. When the mechanic recommends an expensive car repair, we usually get a second opinion about that.

  7. Even if every child or spouse of a Democrat shot someone on Fifth Avenue, that would not mean that Trump and his minions shouldn't be held accountable.

  8. When we don't learn lessons from past mistakes, we are doomed to repeat those mistakes. Despite the claim from Nixon that he was not a crook, the evidence uncovered by Woodward and Bernstein proved otherwise. Nixon resigned but did not admit to any wrongdoing. Who does that remind you of? So many gullible rubes keep following Trump despite all the warning signs.

  9. Trump has acknowledged that he stole the documents. Trump invited the mob. Trump incited the mob. Trump directed the mob. "We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you." The entire event on January 6th was entirely Trump's fault and Trump's responsiblity. "The buck stops here" is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman, who kept a sign with that phrase on his desk in the Oval Office. The phrase refers to the notion that the President has to make the decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility for those decisions. It's not enough to punish the people who rioted.

  10. You're wrong. "In an effort to find out whether these claims of an open border are true, Frost goes to sources who should know. See below an exchange between Frost and Border Security Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Sanchez, in which Frost puts to her question about whether Biden’s Oval Office tenure has created a more porous border. Frost asks Sanchez directly: “When President Biden took office, did your agents stop enforcing the border and just allow everybody to come in, thus creating what we hear here is an open border?” Sanchez replies: “Sir, thank you for your question. The answer is no, sir. We continue to enforce policy and laws. Frost then puts the same question to John Modlin, Chief Patrol Officer, Tucson Section, U.S. Customs & Border Protection. Modlin replies that this is the “fifth administration I’ve worked for, starting with the Clinton administration, and border agents do their job every day.” NPR

  11. The Mango Mussolini made a campaign promise to lower prices day one. As any American who has gone shopping for eggs lately knows: Prices aren’t any lower than they were on Inauguration Day. Despite DOGE budget cut crusade, Trump has already spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money on golf trips. Since January 20, the president has reportedly spent all four weekends on the green, and played golf at his own properties on nine of his first 30 days in office.

  16. "As Governor of the Bank of Canada under Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, he helped steer this country through the biggest economic crisis it has ever faced. When Carney was appointed chair of the G20’s Financial Stability Board in 2011, Harper said that it was “a testament to his skills and to the strength of Canada’s financial system.”  As Governor of the Bank of England, meanwhile, Carney tried to warn Britons about the economic risks associated with Brexit in the lead up to the vote. When they voted for it anyways, he aggressively cut interest rates and provided British banks with liquidity to avert a complete collapse in business and consumer confidence. Mission accomplished." National Observer  Carney won praise for his handling of the financial crisis, when he created new emergency loan facilities and gave unusually explicit guidance on keeping rates at record low levels for a specific period of time. The Bank of England was impressed enough though to poach him in 2013, making him the first non-British governor in the central bank's three-century history, and the first person to ever head two G7 central banks. Britain's finance minister at the time, George Osborne, called Carney the "outstanding central bank governor of his generation".

  18. In October 2017, a gunman shot and killed nearly 60 people at a music festival in Las Vegas. While not an exhaustive list of every mass shooting that took place during the Trump administration, here are some of the deadliest incidents while Trump was in office: In November 2017, 26 people were killed at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. In February 2018, 17 people were killed at a high school in Parkland, Florida. In May 2018, 10 people were killed at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas.

  20.  @fatronjones  If not for all the dead Republicans, the red wave may have happened. The lesson from the following story is "Don't be a D**k." Anti-vaccine radio host in Florida dies of Covid-19 at age 65. A right-wing radio host who called vaccines “bogus bull shid” had a change of heart after being hospitalised with Covid-19, friends say. Dick Farrel, 65, a former Newsmax host and pioneer of the shock jock genre, died on Wednesday in West Palm Beach, Florida, from complications relating to Covid-19.

  22.  @captainmidnight5958  This quote is from someone who downplayed the pandemic and promoted ridiculous treatments during his time in office. He changed his tune when he realized that his gullible unvaccinated followers were dying from COVID-19. "The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind,” Trump said. “I came up with a vaccine — with three vaccines — all are very, very good … in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.” “And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected," Trump went on. "The results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take their vaccine. The vaccine worked, but some people aren’t taking it,” he said. “The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don’t take their vaccine.”

  23.  @fatronjones  Michelle Obama tried to encourage healthy eating and was met with a plate of sugar cookies from Sarah Palin. No one would dispute the being young and healthy is advantageous. That wasn't true during the Spanish flu when 20-40 year olds were the most seriously affected. In those days, very few were obese.

  26. Trump stole the documents. He acknowledged that. "As president, Trump approved a law increasing penalties for mishandling classified info. It could come back to bite him. A bill that Donald Trump signed into law in 2018 could be used to punish the former president if he's found to have mishandled classified information after leaving office. It upgraded the seriousness of wrongly moving classified material, turning it from a misdemeanor into a felony — and increasing the maximum sentence to five years, up from one. Bradley P. Moss, a national security attorney, told Insider that Trump could face five years in prison if he's found guilty under a national security bill that he signed as president. "Trump certainly has legal exposure to Section 1924 given it was classified documents from his spaces in the White House that were removed to Mar-Lago," Moss said. Business Insider

  30. MYTH: 98% of Mass Shootings Occur in Gun-Free Zones. Researcher John Lott claimed that 98% or more of mass shootings from 1950 to the present occurred in gun-free zones. Lott’s false claim is based on a basic error. For the period 1977–1997, Lott counts each individual mass shooting death as an entire mass shooting incident. Even after Lott corrected his mistake, he made a new claim that 94% of mass shootings occurred in gun-free places, which is also based on flawed data and contradicts other research that concludes that 12% to 13% of mass shootings occur where guns are prohibited.

  34. Experts are siding with Dr. Anthony Fauci in the dispute with Sen. Rand Paul over whether experiments done on bat coronaviruses conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology constituted gain of function research. Robert Garry, a virologist and professor at Tulane University, described the experiments as being a study as to whether the bat coronaviruses could infect humans. What they didn't do, he told Newsweek, was make the viruses "any better" at infecting people, which would be necessary for gain-of-function research.

  36. "Prior to taking office in 2016, Trump had blasted the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and negotiations began in August 2017 when he was in the White House to carve out a new deal with Canada and Mexico, which remained underway by spring 2018 when Trump announced the tariffs on May 31, 2018. Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs on roughly $16.6 billion worth of steel, aluminum and hundreds of other products from the U.S., which also included things like maple syrup, shaving products, ketchup and even coffee. By October 2018, a new NAFTA had been negotiated, the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement (CUSMA) — which the U.S. refers to as the USMCA — but it still took until May 2019 for an agreement to be reached to lift the tariffs on both sides. That agreement officially took effect in July 2020 and was ratified after tariffs were lifted." Reuters

  40. Vengeance. Hate. Mental Illness. Every other country has all the same problems. The term "going postal" originated in the United States for a reason. No other country is even remotely competitive in the mass shootings Olympics. The United States surpassed 600 in 2022 and there have been 67 mass shootings so far in 2023. There has literally been every possible permutation and combination of mass shootings including different races of both victims and perpetrators and assorted venues. As long as you insist on not admitting that guns are the problem, the problem will never be solved.
